CORONER'S /N Q UZSZ An inquisition was taken yestertiay at th , 3 Caneen'e Head, Lower.street, Islington, b e fore G. H ongpx, Zfaq. Coroner for Middlesex, on tl'e body of Frederic Mounicke, who was found with ''& l throat cut, and supposed to have been murdered, in isfinf t ion Fields, on Sunday morning. After the Jury had been iniparinellad, they pro ceeded to the church to view the body, which was in a very mangled state. The deceased, who, it has been stated, was a furrier? in Do&ors' Commons, had wounds (although, ,as it was supposed, not suf ficient to divide the main arteries) no each side of the neck, which sweated to have hewn indicted With rather a blunt itaitratztont, besides others on the wrists, &c. The first witness called to prove where, and in what position the body was found, was John Astin, a pott e r, who staved, that, about half past seen o'clock on Sunday morning he was walking in Isling• to Yields with his dog, and, op the brink of a ditch the animal set up a bowling, and on the wanes% ap. proaebing the spot, he discovered the deceased lying on his left Aide, quits dead, with his hands end held up. to his throat. On examining the body., be discovered that a pocket handkerchief was in the linots4h of t h e deceased. There were only two per- Ennio tight. a Gentleman and a Boy, the latter of whom ran sway on being called. The body was found in the centre field,etwetin Maiden-lane and White Conduit House; and a bloody knife was found in the next field, about Do yards distance from the body, where the ground was stained with Christian Schindler, a merchant, residing in Bart. fetes-buildings, Holborn, - had known the deceased fourteen years. Witness,' after describing the resi. deuce of the deceased. &c. stated that he called at bis house at seven o'clock on Friday evening, and he appeared very much dejected. He had been for some time very much embarrassed in circumstances, and, on the preceding day, his Creditors had called A Meeting, at which he was present, but was not seen. The deceased informed witness, that his creditors had had a meeting, but that they had come to no resolution. He went away after stopping about halt an hour, and witness informed him, that his Creditors would not hurt him, and that he would, , call on him the following day, which, however, he did not do, as the princip a l - c r e dit or h a d called to aistire him of what witness only could have done. He never Min afterwards, and he had left a wife and six children. On the knife being produced which was found, Mr. Schindler described it as one used by furriers. A young woman who had been fivc years in the employ 01 the deceased, corroborated that part of .the statement of the preceding witness, relative to wt:le dejeoted state of mind of the deceased, the knife, ke. She saw the decealed at about eight o'clock GU Saturday night at his own door, and he then ap peared in a perfeet state of melancholy. This wit ness also proved that the handkerchief predliced, which was in the mouth of the deceased, belonged 'to inn. A Surgeon at Islington gave it as hl* opinion, that from the appearances of the wounds on his neck', •the deceased had infliaecl them with his own band : 'he had not minutely examined thens s so as to state their real effeas. The - coronerinformed the Jury, that if any doubts were.among them, whether or not the deceased hall 'Tat his death by an aQ of his own, he would take the , Surgeon's statement minutely, as there was no other, evidence to throw additional light on the sub j . The „ Jury do doubts, and they delivered a Verdia—m Lunacy." . .

POLICI. Matritrie-Heme.---Yesterday a boy of tt yeari old, named Hunk,, was charged by his toaster, Mr. Morris; a jeweller in the City, with having robbed him of various valuable articles in the line of his business, and some wearing apparel. Mr. Morris had employed the urchin as an errand boy not more than six weeks, and never doubted the innocence and simplicity peculiarly typified on his countenance. He, however, accidentally ob served his shirt-bosom decorated with a sparkling diamond brooch of considerable value. This excited strong suspicion, and he charged the boy with hav ing robbed him ; . which the latter, with much affect ed innocence, positively denied. A Peace Officer was sent for, and the boy's box searched, in which were found a handsome silver hunting-watch, vari ous fashionable brooches, ear-rings, necklaces, &c. with some silk handkerchiefs, silk stockings, a waist - coat, and some books, all of which his master knew to be his property. This discovery convinced Mr. Morris he bad been robbed to a much more consi derable extent than he at first suspected ; and he endeavoured, by every inducement of threat or pro mise, to elicit a candid acknowledgment of all the fans, and of the young culprit's accomplices, but in ii vain - . He was, consequently, obliged to bring him before the Chief Magistrate, where he stated these fads. The Loan MA von remanded the buy until to-morrow, with a strong injundiun, if he hoped to escape severe punishment, to acknowledge the full extent of his guilt, and furnish an account of all the articles he had stolen from his Master, and of the manner in which he had ditPosed of them. BOW-STREET --Yesterday a notorious street walker, and one of that gang of nog urnal prowlers who usually infest the Strand and Fleet-street, was brought before the Magistrates, Messrs. GRAHAM and READ, charged with various frauds, by means of ut tering fictitious notes of real or pretended country banks, in payment for various articles of linen drapery and other goods, and receiving the change in good notes, or cash. This woman, who has been long eminent as a noted smasher in this line, was principal ly charged by a Mr. Thomas, a linen-draper, near Co ecui.ga rden, witii having urchased at his shop, about a weeks since, some artic les of linen-drapery to, the amount of about 30s. and giving in payment a note for 51. purporting to be of the Ipswich Hank, pay able at an office in St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill, opened, as our Rustlers will recoiled, a considerable time since, by two men named Still and Hitchins, for the purpose of uttering the flutes of a pretended bank at Ipswich,. and for which both were capitally indicted at the Old Bailey. Several other persons appeared to charge the Pri soner with similar frauds, and nearly 600 pawnbro ker's duplicate were found upon her when taken, for brooches, rings, watches, and various other ar- , ticks, the whole of which, as well as the h&litious bank notes, she-pretended to have obtained from Gentlemen in the way of her profession. The Pri soner had given her address on passing the notes, at No. i 6, Paddington-street; but on her examination, acknowledged her real address to be in Shire-lane, Temple-bar. Remanded for further examination. HATTON••GARDEN.—Yesterday ThOtilaS who droVe one of the Shrewsbury Mails for Mr. Wellings, was committed for trial, being charged with receiving several sums, of money from passen gers, for which he had not accounted to his_ master. vitin Lovell and dna Williams, mother and daugh ter, were committed to the House of Correaion, for ten days, for enticing ignorant persons to play at to totum, Tottenham-court-road fair, on Tuesday afternoon. GUILDHALL...-- Two noted charaEters, Thomas Woad and his reputed wife, were charged before the Magistrate with stealing several articles of house hold furniture and wearing apparel, a silver watch, and other property, belonging to a poor man , named Smith, who had employed Wood to cart his goods to some new lodgings he had taken in Shoemaker row, Blackfriars j and the Prisoner thus possessed of t he property absconded without delivering it.— A search warrant was granted by the Sitting Ma gistrate yesterday to examine the Prisoner's aprt monis, where not only all the property was found, but some other proofs that the Prisoner was, in other respeEis, an industrious. money-making man ; for the Officers, in their search, found the complete apparatus of a portable chamber mint for counter feiting coin, and several pieces of base money ready for distribution by the smashers. The whole charge being quite a family concern, both Prisoners were taken into custody. Alderman CURTIS, who issued the warrant to search, yesterday, not being able to attend; the Pri soners were remanded for'their examination to-mor row. A rumour has prevailed at Madras, which was stated to have been received from . Pondicherry, that an insurrection had taken place at'the .Mauritius, in which the Slaves had followed the example of. their brethren at Flayti ; but the report was not credited. A Royal Tiger, measuring to feet from the head to the end of the tail, nearly Ave feet in height, has been killed on St. Thomas's Mount, near the Artillery Cantonments, within nine miles of Ma dras, but not before it had done considerable mis chief; and it is said, that ariether hai made its appearance at the same place, which is sup posed to be the fetuale associate of that lately de stroyed. In some of the late conflicts between Cu RisTortig and PRTION, CHRISTOPiIIeS troops were command ed by TOUSSAINT, a SOU, - as is said, of' the brave Chief whose unknown fate has been a source of merited suspicion against EtIONAPARTE. There is reason to expect that the next arrival from St. Do mingo will brint an account of the complete dis comfiture of Pallor:, it is said that CIIRISTOriIit has under his command more than 40,000 well disciplined troops, and is in possession of several strong places. PaTtON, on the contrary, has but few troops, and those almost entirely new recruits. A Gentleman having undertaken to run from the front of the Register Office, Edinburgh, to the top of Arthur Seat, and back, in 6o minutes, he lately started at six o'clock in the morning, and reached the top in twenty minutes, rested and refresh ed himself for five minutes, and returned to his place of starting within forty-three minutes from Ins setting off, having gained his bet with ease seven minutes within ,the time allotted, The morning . was fine, and considerable bets were depending.
